Quahogs (clams)
food √ Delicious in stews or steamed in a big pit.
tools √They used Quahog shells for digging in the gardens and to scrap out the burnt ashes from a dugout canoe. The shells also made good bowls. They also used a whole shell like tweezers to pluck out their hair one by one for special hairstyles.
wampum √Quahog made the best wampum beads. They liked it for the beautiful purple sections and because it was hard.
